COMMENTS / EXCLUSIONS (Exclusions to this Certificate must be clearly identified).

The following items are excluded and shall be certified separately: The structure to which the door is attached including lintel heads,
ceiling wind beams and abutment supports shall be assessed and certified independently as required by a suitably qualified
engineer.
Comments:
The subject doors are rated up to the relevant ultimate design wind pressures as stipulated in the design criteria on engineering
drawings. The building certifier or project engineer is to ensure that the site specific ultimate design wind pressures do not
exceed the ultimate design wind pressure ratings given on engineering drawings. Alternative design parameters to what are
specified on engineering drawings along with alternative site specific local pressure factors may be adopted provided the
calculated ultimate design wind pressures do not exceed the pressure ratings given on engineering drawings. Doors may be
positioned at any location along the building envelope including all local pressure zones (i.e. corners of buildings) provided the
calculated ultimate design wind pressures do not exceed the pressure ratings given on engineering drawings.

SCHEDULE OF STRUCTURAL INSPECTIONS REQUIRED

Inspection of construction is required at all stages indicated below.
[ ]

1.

Completion of site preparation/site filling/excavations for footings prior to placement of any reinforcement or
concrete.

[ ]

2.

Completion of preparations for placing of concrete strip footings including placement of reinforcement.

[ ]

3.

Completion of preparations for placing concrete slabs including compaction of fill and sand blinding,
placement of formwork, reinforcement, starter bars and cast in items.

[ ]

4.

Completion of preparations for placing of concrete pier footings including reinforcement (if any).

[ ]

5.

Starter bars and cast in items after placing of concrete and prior to any covering up work.

[ ]

Reinforcement to walls completed prior to core filling (inspection holes and cleanout cores to be completed).

[ ]

7.

Structural steelwork and cold formed steelwork completed and prior to any covering up work. Floor framing
system completed before floors are laid or underside is lined.

[ ]

8.

Suspended concrete floor slabs with formwork, reinforcement and cast in items completed, prior to placing of
concrete.

[ ]

9.

Wall framing or blockwork wall core filling completed (with windows fixed in place) and roof framing with
connections completed and prior to sheeting or lining.

Note:

[ ]
[ ]

Prior lodgement of truss manufacturers drawings, details and certification required.

Prior lodgement of windows manufacturers drawings including fixings and certification required.

[ ]

10. Structural wall linings completed and prior to any covering up work.

[ ]

11. Final inspection upon completion of all structural work including fixings of external roof and wall claddings,
flashings, barges & vents.

[ ]

12. Other Inspections as required by the building permit

Important Information:
1) The above inspections are required to be carried out by either the certifying engineer or the building certifier who
issued the building permit for the work. (If no inspections are indicated refer to the certifying engineer for advice).
2) Where works are prescribed building works under the NT Building Act, the building certifier must be provided with
a copy of the inspection record and no further works must be carried out by the builder until the building certifier
issues a release to proceed with further works.
3) Additional non structural inspections may be required during the course of construction before the issue of a
Permit to Occupy (refer to building certifier for requirements).
4) Failure to obtain inspections may prevent the issue of a Permit to Occupy upon completion of the building works.
